Chandigarh, September 28 - Haryana Development and Panchayat Minister Shri Krishan Lal Panwar said that a historic decision has been taken by reducing the GST rates under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The poor and middle class of the country will benefit the most from this. With this change, on the one hand, the prices of things used in daily activities have come down.
On the other hand, the prices of small equipment and vehicles have also come down. People who had booked vehicles are now getting vehicles at a lower price. For this, people thanked Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
Shri Krishan Lal Panwar was talking to the media in Panipat on Sunday. Along with this, he also discussed with the traders about the new GST rates.
While talking to the media, he said that the new GST rates have been implemented by the Central Government. Along with this, people have also started getting the benefit of low prices. He said that under the new system, while simplifying the GST slabs, now some goods have been brought mainly in the 0 percent category. Apart from this, two GST slabs have been made 5 percent and 18 percent. The previously implemented 12 percent and 28 percent slabs have been completely abolished.
He said that many goods and services of daily use have been completely exempted from GST. This includes milk, Indian breads like roti-paratha, individual life and health insurance policies, primary stationery, note books, maps, charts, oxygen and medicines.
